Usually the ones about cheapness are hilarious, as they come from various, distant parts of the country.

What are your favorites like "He's so cheap that _____"?

I used to hear "He's so tight that he screws his socks on!"

How about the old put-down jokes:

"I'll put you down so low you'll have to reach up to tie your shoes"

or

"When they gave out brains you thought they said trains and missed yours".
